Septimus Heap, Book Four: Queste: Queste

Paperback | June 23, 2009

There's trouble at the Castle, and it's all because Merrin Meredith has returned with Darke plans for Septimus. More trouble awaits Septimus and Jenna in the form of Tertius Fume, the ghost of the very first Chief Hermetic Scribe, who is determined to send Septimus on a deadly Queste. But Septimus and Jenna have other plans—they are headed for the mysterious House of Foryx, a place where all Time meets and the place where they fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in physik. But how will Septimus escape the Queste?

Queste, like all the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with nonstop action, humor, and fantastical adventure as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery.

AwesomeThis is the fourth book in the Septimus Heap story and like the other stories in the series this book brings a new and fun level of Magyical mayhem. The characters develop into stronger people, but still manage to end up on a horrible adventure. While the book is called Queste the actual Queste doesn't happen until halfway through the book. It takes a little bit to set the scene and introduce some of the new characters, and while that was fun some of the character's story had nothing to really add to the main story. Basically the book was fun and fast paced a perfect addition to the series.

“The Septimus Heap series remains one of the best outcomes of the young-wizard furor catalyzed by Harry Potter.”
